Standoff by Australian-born author David Rollins (
SYKM) is a military espionage action thriller involving some kind of drug cartel conspiracy, apparently 6th in his Vin Cooper series starring a US Air Force OSI agent, free courtesy of publisher Pan Macmillan Australia's Momentum imprint.
There's no indication at the Momentum official blog as to how long this promotion will last, but generally they've been pretty good at keeping things available for a decent length of time.
Currently free @
Amazon (available to Canadians and in the
UK),
Kobo &
iTunes (both available to Canadians, and the Kobo version is DRM-free), and also
directly from the publisher (DRM-free ePub/Mobi bundle requires filling in your personal info, may be available worldwide as I didn't have a problem getting it from Canada).
This should probably also drop @
B&N (likely also
UK, linked for your price-drop-check convenience) at some point, like the other recent Momentum freebies.
And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.
It's nice when publishers offer stuff DRM-free, especially when they're imprints tied to major publishers, at that.
Enjoy!
Description
A brutal massacre. A terrifying madman.
OSI Special Agent Vin Cooper is brought to the scene of an airport massacre in El Paso, Texas, to investigate the death of a USAF airman, AWOL from a nearby Air Force base.
When a survivor of the chilling massacre crawls out of the desert, Cooper comes to the obvious conclusion – with a major cartel just across the border in Juarez, this has to be about drugs.
As he begins to piece together the case, Cooper is drawn into a world of violence and treachery. Soon he finds himself on the run, framed for murders he didn't commit. But being a fugitive just happens to be the perfect cover for his most dangerous mission yet – crossing the border and infiltrating the cartel.
Coming face-to-face with a terrifying madman, Cooper soon realizes that the airport massacre was just a dress rehearsal for something even worse…
